Paddy Pimblett and Jake Paul may be on a collision course. Earlier this week, the English-born Paddy ‘The Baddy’ Pimblett accused professional boxer and YouTuber Jake Paul of having fixed matches.
In professional boxing, Paul has earned a perfect 6-0 record with four of these wins coming by way of KO/TKO. He has earned notable wins over Anderson Silva, Ben Askren, and Tyron Woodley, among others. On the legitimacy of these matches, Pimblett said:
“Jake Paul is actually not that bad now, even though I think his fights are fixed … I don’t think the Tyron Woodley knockout was fixed because when you get knocked out like that and you land face first, if you’re not unconscious you’re going [puts arms out]. You can’t help it. That’s a human reaction. But I seen an angle of a punch he hit Anderson Silva with the other day when he sat down, and he didn’t even hit him.”

Upon hearing this, ‘The Problem Child’ Paul called out ‘The Baddy.’ Jake Paul challenged Pimblett to a sparring match and added that if the English fighter wins he’ll be paid $1,000,000 from Paul. However, if Jake Paul wins, Pimblett has to start working for Paul’s fighters union United Fighters Association.
